Company says 2.6 million farmed salmon died in southern Newfoundland pens

The Norwegian-owned Northern Harvest Sea Farms made the announcement yesterday, after the provincial government announced it was suspending licences at the company's affected sites.

Fisheries and Land Resources Minister Gerry Byrne says he learned Friday that the number dead fish was higher the company initially reported. The managing director of Northern Harvest Sea Farms Newfoundland says the suspension affects 10 of the company's 13 sites. Jamie Gaskill says the company accepts the licence suspensions and is focusing on cleaning up its pens.

The company says two million fish died from a prolonged period of high water temperatures that it reported to government on Sept. 3, and another 600,000 fish that may have been "weakened by the temperature event" died later.

And who did they poach them too?

Why suspend the company when fish deaths were caused by warm water (an act of God)

And to think that comes into our food supply. Farming food is no good. And plus it goes into the wild stock of salmon this poisoning our food even more !
